What Sensex represents

The economic meaning of Sensex comes from the exposure it represents, not from the number of digits in the quoted level or the direction of one observation.

What could change the picture

The next useful checks for Sensex are large banks, industrial groups, overseas flows and the rupee. Those inputs can supply context for Sensex, although none proves the cause of this exact tick and none is a forecast.
